AI Richard and coworkers will collaborate with CI Volz on the quantum engines and instruments program in the domain of light-matter-phonon interactions in semiconductor nano-systems. Specifically they will collaborate on non-equilibrium thermodynamics of polariton quantum fluids and optomechanics with levitated objects in the light-matter strong-coupling regime.
AI Richard and his coworkers (PhD students and postdocs) will contribute to the projects described here with scientific discussions, experiment design, planning and analysis, possible exchange of PhD students under the Cotutelle program, and direct participation/contribution in experimental runs.
